positively affect motivation [1]. At the root of the model is that behaviorscongruent with one’s identities are preferred and motivating, whereas behaviors incongruent arenot preferred and viewed as unimportant and meaningless. Moreover, what children and youngadults perceive as congruent for them is heavily influenced by what they see and experience. Assuch, role models (teachers, mentors, peers) who reinforce and share in a given identity make itfeel congruent. It can then be more readily adopted as a part of their identity – who they are.This is why having caring, dedicated and multiple mentors, for example, is at the heart of boththe CISTAR and NSBE SEEK parts of the REM program and is so critical for changing thedemographics of fields such as

An analysis of student reflections from exit interviews of graduatingstudents from 2018 and 2019 cohorts and journal entry data collected from students from therecent 2023 cohort is presented in this work. The themes emerging from this analysis show thatboth graduating students and current students seek to strengthen the RAMP community beyondthe summer program. Their recommendations point to the need for continuing support in bothpersonal achievement and for advocating the needs of their peers. With over a hundred RAMPparticipants now established across the engineering majors and the workforce, theserecommendations will be integrated in the participatory action research framework that anchorsthe design of RAMP.

In particular, the study aims to answer the following hypotheses: 1. Students who complete the cross-disciplinary course are more likely to persist in their engineering studies than their peers who enrolled in a discipline-specific course. 2

One reasonably classifies a literature survey task as a concept topic, suggestingthe potential for accurate results from AI. However, this work uses Gemini 1.5 Flash, notChatGPT 3.5.
